ARBA TSR 2

[JOCKNEY]

A recent rumage in the stash uncovered a ARBA TSR 2 kit.

I can vaguely remember bidding for this on that well known auction site which had a really low starting price, but because the fuselage had been glued together no one fancied it.

So my question is,

Is it a good kit worth finding decals for ?

Or should I build my Contrail TSR 2 instead ?

 

Any help greatly appreciated

The Contrail kit is an awful travesty of not even approximate shapes, fit only for when no other options were available and even then chunky and awful.

 

ISTR the ARBA kit if it's resin resurfaced as Resitech sometime or other in the '90s, it wasn't a bad basis and I built a few at the time for collectors.

 

Having said that the Airfix kit (especially with the CMK enhancements) blows them all away and is worth persisting with an eBay hunt if you want a decent looking TSR2.
